Well. I 100% totally overthought this... and was able to implement this in about 10 lines of code using a derivation of QProgressDIalog + QtConcurrent
The progress dialog, is run with windowModality set to Qt::WindowModal, I overload exec, and launch the function then call QProgressDialog::exec. Works like charm. Thanks for the advice.

Or any other modal window in front. You probably want to display either a progress bar or a distraction, to let your users know that the application isn't frozen. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
